FUNCTION
<<labs>>---long integer absolute value
INDEX
labs
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
long labs(long <[i]>);
DESCRIPTION
<<labs>> returns
@tex
$|x|$,
@end tex
the absolute value of <[i]> (also called the magnitude
of <[i]>). That is, if <[i]> is negative, the result is the opposite
of <[i]>, but if <[i]> is nonnegative the result is <[i]>.
The similar function <<abs>> uses and returns <<int>> rather than
<<long>> values.
RETURNS
The result is a nonnegative long integer.
PORTABILITY
<<labs>> is ANSI.
No supporting OS subroutine calls are required.
